Welcome, my beast in midfield! Muhahahaha!!! With the likes of Gerrard and Mendieta going for more than him, what a bargain in 35M!

Everybody hates him on the caf though. I once played a team with midfielders at full back and he still got picked on as a weak spot.
Just Seedorf from what I can see?
Who? Clarence? Thats bollocks. One of the most hard working midfielders in history, and one of the best of this draft's generation. Really well positioned in midfield and great engine going forward. I have no worries.
I actually thought I might be able to get him for cheap since he's a bit difficult to fit in on here. You got him for a fair price though. Well done.
Out of interest, would you have kept bidding if I upped it to 45m odd?
WTF.. I don't get it.
Why did you offer 89m for Iniesta @Annahnomoss. I am sure paceme would have sold him for less.

Fair point. May be we should track who nominated how many players. That way we can do it in a fair manner.
He is a bitch to bargain with. I said 75, he said 80, I said 78, he said 89. If I had bargained with him I would have lost family and home.
It was in exchange for me agreeing to not bid for busquets or Xavi any more.
I have nominated 0 players so far. Can I nominate a player guys?
I don't get it either.. Paceme bid 70m for him, why didnt you just outbid him then for 72 instead of waiting till now?
Total players (FW, DF, GK) : 72

I don't think such collusion is fair
I'm not sure, there are some fine midfielders yet to get picked, but I really love this guy and never had him in a draft before...
I think it's not a good idea, finally this is getting on a right track thanks to Pol's hard work, lets not try to change it..
I don't want two of the trio. Xavi and Busquets can't really play in any other style than Tiki-Taka and individually they haven't proven themselves without their comrades at the same level.
If I would have bid for Iniesta, PaceMe would have taken Busquets and Xavi, like I quit bidding for Iniesta as he then couldn't bid against me on the other two.
Got a feeling Pol/Theon and me are going for a similar midfield.
Are there any other managers bar me who are yet to nominate a player?
Well, you saw the price it cost. 19 millions extra, and it was smart of him to block my purchase. I think fair play to PaceMe even if I am the one with 82mill left for 8 players.
bidding seemed to have really cooled down..
25 minutes to Beckham.
25 minutes to Beckham.
Welcome, my beast in midfield! Muhahahaha!!! With the likes of Gerrard and Mendieta going for more than him, what a bargain in 35M!
He's only going for 2 million less than Gerrard though, there are a couple more unreasonably priced CMs in this draft tbh.
I think you've been taken to the cleaners there.
Here. Really struggling with a draft plan at the moment. Don't want more than a few of the players in the list above, but I'm patient, I don't mind waiting until I can nominate players.
Deep playmaker, two box to box midfielders, #10?
Aye, I pegged that a while back.
Yeah. I think it is fine to wait, may be even better since you may have less bidders for players you want. Or worse since people may want those players no matter what
You go ahead of me if you want to!
@Balu you don't want Neuer 
We don't add new players till tomorrow noon? I don't plan that far ahead
.I'd take him over Gerrard any day. Different types of players though.
Still pissed at him because he kicked Team German Sheppard single-handedly out of the tournament last time@Balu you don't want Neuer
.I said a week or two ago to some people that I'd wish to pick up the trio, everybody said that would be near impossible. So considering it was my desire to finally have them in a draft I am happy to pay 62 m a piece for them in average.
62 for Iniesta or Xavi is brilliant, 62 for Busquets is too much imo. Although if it gets them all together it's a good bargain I guess.
It is not 62m apiece though
There's so many players to bid on so it's flexible. Still some great wide options available too.
He's overpriced, especially when you could've got Yaya for 10-25m, but that's the penalty for working within the constraints of a theme as Balu, Anto and others have found out in recent drafts.
Don't knock you for that, Seedorf was a fantastic player as well, but i would consider both bargains considering what Giggs Scholes and Keane are going for.
